From WildCareOklahoma
Meet WildCareOklahoma patient #24-3218, great horned owl. This is not a typical position for an owl. This one is being weighed. Taking and tracking patient weights is one of the most important protocols followed at WildCareOklahoma. Changes and trends in weight can indicate the patient is improving and moving toward release or that something may be wrong when weight is lost.
You may recognize this scale - it's the same kind used in pediatricians' offices!
I'm always much more jealous of how relaxed they are playing, rather than the notes per second. This guy plays that as calmly as if he were sending someone a text, while I'm over here feeling like I'm defusing a bomb or doing heart surgery trying to poke the right things.
I am far enough along now that I thankfully am able to notice my own improvement after being on the plateau for a while, which helps much more than a year ago when I started and had no clue if what I was doing was right or not.
His hand structure is a plus, but there's no denying his talent. He probably practiced a lot to get there. I was almost drifting off to it, then the phone rang. D'oh! And yes, it's odd I was drifting off to it, but I seriously could've used that nap!
